This is cool idea, but honestly i don't expect to receive call if i run LN node.
Maybe not now, but it's not hard to imagine LN node operators communication like this, also we are slowly moving towards dystopian future and censoring stuff will be more and more common, it is happening even now for some people, just a matter of time when it will affect you or someone you know.
That is why Impervious is working on this cool idea of using Bitcoin network and Lightning Network for building something that is resistant to censorship and surveillance.



EXCEPT, cloudflare? Why?
It is using cloudflare tunnel to expose Redphone app to public internet, but nobody else will know that url you are using, but I am sure this could also work in some alternative way even without cloudflare, with some tweaking and updates.
Looks revolutionary to me and it can have real use case with some easy to use app, having a phone number without am actual phone number, that nobody can shut down.
